Over the years, the most unwelcome thing (that I could still find amusing) to discover that as reflection of their respective domestic politics there's always an extant political sentiment even if it doesn't rise to the level of actual separatism, in Acheh, Riau islands, Sumatera, Southern Thailand, Indonesian Kalimantan even Mindanao, of using Malaysia as a discourse totem, the "what if we had joined that federation instead". Unwelcome because a lot of our diplomatic border disputes in this entire southeast asian region are basically frozen and no one really wants to heat them up, and the formation of Malaysia itself has always been treated as a something suspicious post-konfrontasi, that never really went away.
ANYWAY, tropical storm senyar got us all in the end. The floods weren't bad here comparatively but now we're dragged into the Sumatera-Java psychodrama as deaths continue to mount. #tootSEA #Malaysia #Indonesia
